JAMMU, June 29: The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) today announced a massive public outreach campaign across the Union Territory on July 5 as part of the Congress party’s nationwide programme to highlight issues concerning students, youth, farmers and the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The decision was taken at a joint meeting of the Urban and Rural Congress Committees, chaired by AICC secretary, Divya Maderna and JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla. The meeting was attended by District Congress Committee (Rural Jammu) president Neeraj Kundan, PCC headquarters incharge Ved Mahajan, Assembly constituency incharges, observers, block presidents, senior leaders, office-bearers and party functionaries from across the Jammu region.
A key feature of the July 5 campaign will be ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’, a nationwide Congress initiative aimed at highlighting the concerns of students and youth. The programme will focus on the alleged NEET paper leak, examination irregularities, rising unemployment and what the party described as the BJP government’s anti-student policies. The Congress said the campaign would also reiterate its commitment to ensuring transparency, accountability and fairness in the education system.
Addressing the meeting, Divya Maderna said the Congress would continue to stand firmly with students and youth whose future, she alleged, has been jeopardised by repeated examination controversies. She termed the NEET paper leak a serious betrayal of the aspirations of lakhs of young Indians and said the nationwide ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ campaign would amplify students’ voices while exposing what she described as the BJP Government’s failure to protect the integrity of the country’s examination system.
